Is It Normal for the Electronic Parking Brake to Make Loud Noises When Engaging and Disengaging?

[DiJesse]

When the electronic parking brake is engaged or released, there will be a motor operating sound. This noise is produced by the motor controlling the rear wheel brake calipers or the tensioner, which is a normal occurrence and does not require excessive concern. However, if other abnormal noises occur, it is necessary to promptly send the car for inspection to ensure driving safety. The advantages of the electronic parking brake are as follows: 1. Simple operation: The biggest advantage of the electronic parking brake is its simplicity—just flick a switch to activate the parking brake function. Additionally, the settings of the electronic parking brake are more user-friendly, as it can be engaged under any circumstances. 2. High safety factor: If accidentally pressed while driving, the electronic parking brake will not activate as long as the throttle is still in the working position. If pressed during emergency braking, the electronic parking brake will not lock the wheels but will provide stronger braking force to assist in stopping.
